In the western suburbs of Lhasa is a big family of more  than 100 orphans and disabled children. This is the Tibet  Autonomous Region Orphanage.

Orphanage staff make sure the children get to and from school. After class, the staff helps them in their study and arranges activities for them.

Dainba, staff of Tibet Autonomous Region Orphanage, said, "All the children can wash their own clothes. They also observe discipline."

The Orphanage's undertakings have grown in recent years. During the earlier stage of democratic reform in Tibet, there was only one take-in station for orphans and disabled people. In 1997, the Civil Affairs Department helped Lhasa set up 5 orphanages.

There are plans for the regional government to invest nearly 30 million yuan for another orphanage.
